The University of Central Asia’s Mountain Societies Research Institute (MSRI) awarded over $160,000 in grants to 14 accomplished fellows from Afghanistan, Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. Awarded in April 2014, the grants will support two-year research projects related to the development of mountain societies.
The grants were awarded by MSRI’s Central Asia and Afghanistan Research Fellowship (CAARF) programme. CAARF was established in 2013 to strengthen the capacity of scholars from Afghanistan, Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic to inform sustainable development for societies in the Tien Shan, Pamir and Hindu Kush mountain regions.
